technology

[prime jasper]

probably not that much in rl usage

[storm osprey]

too many variables to account for irl

[twilit silo]

so ima stick to the rgb case

and if i get annoyed of the rgb i can turn it off

[prime jasper]

i wish there is a clean and crisp case with absolute airflow

[storm osprey]

im always after bang for buck first

[twilit silo]

you both did choose the same storage and ram

[storm osprey]

different ram

ram and psu are different

[prime jasper]

silverstone case did make it into gamernexus list though

[storm osprey]

3600 is fine, i wouldnt get cl20 though, im sure there are cl18 for the same price or cheaper

[prime jasper]

yea it worth choosing nyphon case

its only 20 dollars more

[twilit silo]

oh wait same storage

is that storage like the best you get

[storm osprey]

3200 cl16 vs 3600 cl18 isnt a big difference though and youre very likely able to manually tune one to the other

that ssd is just really good value

[zenith turret]

yeah, it's like 5% with no GPU limit

[prime jasper]

i would pick cl18

[twilit silo]

lemme see the ssd i have

[zenith turret]

I'd just get a 3200 cl16 crucial kit and overclock the snot out of it which is exactly what I did, I got to 4133 cl14

Rev.B is nice

[twilit silo]

860 evo

[prime jasper]

its hard to get a cl14 to right spot

[zenith turret]

just tightening the subs is where all the perf comes from anyways

even 4000 20-20-20 with tight subs kicks ass

[prime jasper]

probaly go for higher clock since ryzen always top that

[storm osprey]

no need to replace 860 evo

[twilit silo]

is the 860 evo better or worse that the one you guys sent

[prime jasper]

better

[zenith turret]

better then what?

[prime jasper]

mx500

[zenith turret]

yeah, much nicer controller

[storm osprey]

and 860 is better than mx500

[prime jasper]

but they are not different that much

[twilit silo]

ok good so i dont gotta waste on a ssd

[prime jasper]

they are both 3d tcl

[zenith turret]

controllers are very different

[twilit silo]

i can move to something else

[prime jasper]

860 evo have more cache

slc cache i think

[twilit silo]

so in the list this one: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/v2My8J

it says some parts are incompatible

[zenith turret]

both have dram

[storm osprey]

its a warning more than anything

[sharp wind]

Тут есть русские - There are Russians here

[prime jasper]

pcpartpicker are dumb in that

[storm osprey]

most likel your motherboard will come with factory bios update

[twilit silo]

you sure?

[prime jasper]

every mobo manufactured in late 2020 gonna come with bios updated out of the box

[storm osprey]

probably but its an english only server as well

[twilit silo]

ok

[prime jasper]

you cant even pick b450 t max, what a shame

[twilit silo]

lemme edit some stuff

brb

[zenith turret]

@twilit silo b550 aorus pro is a solid option for cheaper

[twilit silo]

i have a 860

[sharp wind]

I just couldn't find the Russian server and found only this one

[twilit silo]

ima just put into the new pc

[storm osprey]

i dont think theres a russian BFD server

[storm osprey]

which auros pro? theres like 6

[zenith turret]

b550 aorus pro

[zenith turret]

just the standard one

[prime jasper]

if you are unlucky to find a board with outdated bios, you can find a ryzen 1000 or 2000 cpu to update

[zenith turret]

b550 aorus pro is also very nice at mem

[twilit silo]

os

what do i do

[zenith turret]

can do 5400 2xsr and 4800 4xsr no problems, DR only does like 4533 though

[prime jasper]

well you can find windows key for like 10-20 dollars

[storm osprey]

dont think we are allowed to promote that

[twilit silo]

y

[zenith turret]

it is legal in the EU, but not in most other places

[twilit silo]

im in the us

[prime jasper]

nah legal or not, its a viable option

[storm osprey]

this being an official discord i dont think they want and grey area markets to be promoted

[zenith turret]

not legal

[twilit silo]

so ima just move the ssd money to os

[zenith turret]

yeah, if the mods allow chat like that discord will screw them other, they are extremely strict on it

[twilit silo]

do i go pro or home

does it matter

[prime jasper]

i think that if you are student, windows 10 home are free

provided that you have a valid student card

[twilit silo]

i can ask

[storm osprey]

i can only find gigabyte auros pro for 170

seems the same as msi and they seem similar

[twilit silo]

for now ima put the home

no pro

just in case

[storm osprey]

170 vs 180

things like that i would just revisit the question when you are ready to buy

[prime jasper]

or just go b450 tmax

save you 50 dollars

[twilit silo]

does the mother board you choose have wifi 6

or wifi at all

[prime jasper]

nope, dont buy mobo with built in wifi

they built in card usually suck arse

[twilit silo]

oh wait i dont need wifi 6

but i would like to use wifi

what are my options

[prime jasper]

can you hardwire it

[storm osprey]

well since you want atx you can get a pcie wifi card

[twilit silo]

ok

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fXwCCz

this the new list

[prime jasper]

you really need that thermal compound

[twilit silo]

i went with a 20$ one

i dont know if expensive is better

[prime jasper]

well if you got money to spend

[twilit silo]

well can i cheap out

[prime jasper]

you can save 200 dollars if you use the old build and when straight for a 3080

[twilit silo]

i can save if i dont get a extra ssd

or if i get a os on a grey market

for now this is the build

ima check with other friends tmr a adjust acordingly

ima gts though

thanks homing for the help

[prime jasper]

honestly if you could save i recommend you would

for 200 usd you can get 50% more perf from the 3080

Btw, definitive is on discount again but I only have 900 boins. This week's reward is cc

[hollow fulcrum]

nice one

how much was it

[weak girder]

guys I found out my monitor was running at 75hz instead of 144...

and this whole time I thought I was seeings 144 fps

just changed it in the settings

[modern gull]

Atleast you found out 😛 Imagine seing your friends 144 hz thinking yours is broken.

[opaque saddle]

Congrats, hoped you like it

[ashen ether]

I get 100+ fps on low

I always play on low anyway

Also, it's perfect for my 144hz free sync

[strong breach]

im bothered for little room there is

between my GPU and CPU cooler

[chrome skiff]

is it an air cooler for the cpu? Do you have any temps issues?

[strong breach]

nah no issues

just have to get a long stick if i ever wanted to detach the gpu

[chrome skiff]

Ah gotcha yeah I have a dark rock pro 4 air cooler and have the same issue. I took a razor blade and etched a groove into the pcie lock switch so I can push a long flat head into it and not slip

[strong breach]

also felt like seeing the extra effort so i cleaned my CPU cooler for the first time in 1 year

Before:

After:

https://i.imgur.com/4JCZzWO.png

[chrome skiff]

oooo well thats good you cleaned it

[strong breach]

ah no embed

cool

there it is

been lazy in cleaning places i can't reach

[chrome skiff]

well atleast you got around to cleaning it and it wasn't that bad to begin with

[strong breach]

next CPU cooler cleaning date

2022

[chrome skiff]

imagine what the gpu fins will look like in 2022

[strong breach]

probably the same as in the before photo

[proud trellis]

any decent virus scanners about that arent dodgy ?

[strong breach]

i just use windows defender honestly

[chrome skiff]

windows defender

yup

[proud trellis]

oh

i used that and it said nothing detected but people say its not good enough

windows defender

[molten coral]

Just don’t download from shady websites and you’ll be fine

Just be smart about it

[chrome skiff]

or if you do do it through a vm and a separate hard drive

[proud trellis]

my cpu is hitting 100% all the time when playing games like BFV and COD so i thought i would scan for any malware/virus's

[chrome skiff]

what cpu and what gpu

[strong breach]

CPU hitting 100% in BFV is pretty normal honestly lul

my i7-9700k hits 100%

[chrome skiff]

my 7820x and 9900k with 2080ti/ 3080 bang off 100% a lot

[strong breach]

i had a 1070 before my 3080

and i hit 100% CPU usage even with it

[proud trellis]

its a 1660s and a i5-9400f

[strong breach]

even though with 1070 i should have been gpu bottlenecked

[proud trellis]

COD is so stuttery

[chrome skiff]

thatsvpretty normal for your specs ice

maybe add fps limiters

[proud trellis]

and BFV is like a slideshow

trying to get a refund loll

[supple bane]

Bfv is the most cpu intensive application I own thh

Not game, app in general

[chrome skiff]

look at task manager and see if there is anything else eating resources

[proud trellis]

thats the thing

[supple bane]

@chrome skiff believe me you won't find a fix for it

Its something deeply wrong with his pc, and without having it there infront of you you won't find it

[proud trellis]

say if i was playing BFV , it takes up about 85-90% but its still pinned at 100 , people said it might be a virus or malware

[chrome skiff]

can you reinstall or reset windows?

[strong breach]

if you're suspecting a virus

always re-install windows

[chrome skiff]

if its truly that bad just wipe the pc

[proud trellis]

ff sake

[supple bane]

He has

[proud trellis]

done that before

[supple bane]

I have too

[strong breach]

ah

[proud trellis]

didnt do anything

[fallen harbor]

whenever i suspect i might have a big virus i download malwarebytes and run the scan and let it do the work and then uninstall it

[supple bane]

I think its a faulty peice of hardware

Whats weird is i ran userbenchmark on his pc and all the results came back as average

[strong breach]

i think faulty piece of hardware might be the most likely cause

[supple bane]

So nothing is significantly underperformed

[strong breach]

if you've re-installed windows

[chrome skiff]

are the fps in game low or are they fine it just looks choppy?

[fallen harbor]

he showed me the usage of all the parts while running the game and the cpu never got to 100% iirc

[proud trellis]

thing is tho when i sent it back to the company i think the only thing they did was reinstall windows and do the benchmarks as i have it in the photo files

[strong breach]

really odd

🤔

[chrome skiff]

what fps do you get in game

is your fps high but it still feels choppy

[proud trellis]

i have a video from ages ago that i can show u

[chrome skiff]

sure

[supple bane]

Its just like 2 fps

[proud trellis]

https://youtu.be/amVeumB9Xd0

[supple bane]

Its not stutter, there is no fps to stutter lmao

[chrome skiff]

open bfv and do perfoverlay.drawgraph 1

then show me a video or picture of your graph

[proud trellis]

can u give me like 10 mins and i will do it ?

[chrome skiff]

mhm

[proud trellis]

ok

[strong breach]

oh heck

it's worse than i expected

[opaque saddle]

If I set BFV to my monitor native res and ultra quality settings, my CPU or gpu usage gets either 99% or 100%

Which is pretty normal. But I need more information from your end so I might be able to assist you

[proud trellis]

idk wtf is wrong with it

[strong breach]

your system should definitely run the game better than that

[proud trellis]

i even tried low settings and it was still unplayable

still pinned at 100% on low

[strong breach]

1660 should be able to run the game on like 80fps

1080p

[proud trellis]

hess , i can run the game on ultra 1440p and get 80 fps

[chrome skiff]

ice is your video cable plugged into the mobo or the gpu

[proud trellis]

well i used to be able to get that FPS

[proud trellis]

gpu

[strong breach]

is there an integrated gpu in your system?

[chrome skiff]

can you double check for me

[proud trellis]

not sure tbh , any way to check

[proud trellis]

it is in the gpu lol

[strong breach]

go to game settings and it should say which GPU it's using in there

should say GTX 1660

if not change it to 1660

but honestly

[strong breach]

that still won't explain why CPU is on 100%

so that's probably no the case

[opaque saddle]

There are many reasons that causes CPU on 100%

[proud trellis]

i would ask the company to have it back but it will be gone for like another month and i have school work to do

[opaque saddle]

According to my experience helping people around the world

The most bizarre one is, the intel stock fan worn out and capped at 500rpm

[strong breach]

how about other games than BFV

do they run as expected?

[opaque saddle]

Repair the game, sounds like you did

But I can tell you, my 3600 isn’t as Powerful as I expected

If you can, please find a way to display all the pc components stats (including temperature, frequency, and usage if possible)

Based on what I have received, (I need a refresh). We/I can barely help. Coz it lacks of important info

[prime jasper]

this game barely use my cpu

[fallen harbor]

he has a 9400f so no

[strong breach]

right

im so curious why is his CPU usage that high

[proud trellis]

the fuck

[fallen harbor]

ice do you feel like letting me access to your pc again and check some things? if it doesnt bother you of course, and it doesnt have to be right now either

[proud trellis]

u can check it yeah

i can do it now as im doing nothing

[fallen harbor]

ok

[proud trellis]

teamviewer we using ?

[fallen harbor]

do you have anydesk installed?

[opaque saddle]

Is that a prebuilt?

[proud trellis]

yeah it is derek

[proud trellis]

no

[opaque saddle]

Is the CPU heat sink attached?

[proud trellis]

yeah

[opaque saddle]

Tight?

[proud trellis]

yeah

well let me check

[opaque saddle]

What’s the CPU usage and temp?

The frequency

[proud trellis]

if your thinking of my temps , on msi afterburner its around 65-75 when gaming

[fallen harbor]

ok im downloading teamviewer then

[opaque saddle]

Intel heat sink?

[proud trellis]

corsair

i have an AIO

[opaque saddle]

Hmm. What will be the cpu clock speed while gaming

[proud trellis]

i will get it to

[fallen harbor]

wait

if you dont have it then get anydesk instead

[proud trellis]

ok

[fallen harbor]

which is the one i have and i think works better

[prime jasper]

what processor you are using again?

[fallen harbor]

i5 9400f

[proud trellis]

u able to send me the download link ando ?

[fallen harbor]

https://download.anydesk.com/AnyDesk.exe

[proud trellis]

ty

[fallen harbor]

np

[opaque saddle]

Hmm your name sounds like a friend of mine

[prime jasper]

Thread.MaxProcessorCount 6

[opaque saddle]

6C6T

[prime jasper]

change it to 12 for 9400f

wait 6c6t so yea its 6

[opaque saddle]

Wait up an offtopic question

Any chance you came from asia?

@fallen harbor, if you can, please monitor the CPU temp, usage and clock speed from the hardware side. If isn’t hardware issue, then reinstalling windows might be recommended

[fallen harbor]

yeah

[prime jasper]

please help, when i start BF4 i lost sound everywhere , everything gets deaf . . . . anyone can help ? i tried all troubleshoot options

[weak girder]

have you tried windows sound settings?

and selecting your speakers or headphones as an outout device?

[fallen harbor]

temps and speeds are performing correctly

i have recorded my session on his pc just in case

i am almost sure his cpu cant stand his two high end monitors so i told him to try to turn one of them off next time he plays

if thats not it then idk tbh

[molten bramble]

?

[proud trellis]

?

[fallen harbor]

?

[void skiff]

?

[opaque saddle]

@fallen harbor that will be weird coz I got 1x 3440x1440 At 144hz monitors with 1x 4K 60hz or 1x 2k 144hz running at the same time

[fallen harbor]

what cpu?

[opaque saddle]

Another issue can be he set the FPS cap to 200hz and the CPU is drawing too much performance out of it

3600

Coz I know if he uses 200hz at high or ultra settings, it can slow down his PC since the CPU is constantly running at 99 or 100%

[fallen harbor]

i see, then if tha'ts not it then idk

[opaque saddle]

My 3600 is still really weak running BFV

Will go home next year and take a look

[fallen harbor]

this makes no sense, if you uncap your frame rate, the cpu will work as hard as possible to get as many fps as possible, this doesn't cause stuttering because it doesn't try to perform more than it can, it just performs as much as it can

I've compared his performance to mine

[opaque saddle]

Is he running the game on HDD?

[fallen harbor]

yes but that makes no difference anyway

[opaque saddle]

Unless the texture quality is to ‘too’ high

And that bottlenecks everything

[fallen harbor]

for instance the training map peformed at 104fps on 1080p and low settings and i did it at the same time with my pc which is slightly worse than his and mine never went below 200fps

i disabled every single non microsoft service too

[opaque saddle]

This is what happened if you uses more than 100mb/s

[fallen harbor]

restarted the pc

[opaque saddle]

He shall reinstall his PC and see how it goes

[fallen harbor]

he already reformated his pc

if thats what you mean

[opaque saddle]

You meant, reinstall windows?

[fallen harbor]

yes

or at least that's what he said

[opaque saddle]

Give me more info, I shall take a look when I get up

[fallen harbor]

i will send you all the info that i got from his pc

i recorded everything i did

[opaque saddle]

I would be interested to see his in game settings

[fallen harbor]

just let me edit it and convert it

[opaque saddle]

Coz usually it happens with hardware issues

[fallen harbor]

oops

forgot to save the first half of it

[opaque saddle]

DX12 and DLSS are off?

Coz if it’s in game issue, this is what it bugged my 3600 and 2070S setup

[proud trellis]

even ask granty , he helped me reinstall it

[opaque saddle]

Coz my pc couldn’t get over 20fps with those on

Please do a check if you got time next time, I cannot think of any non software related issue that may cause the FPS drop in normal condition

[fallen harbor]

dx12 was disabled

dlss i think too

cant remember

isnt dx12 required to enable dlss?

if so then both were disabled yes

[opaque saddle]

When you got time, please send me a footage and see whether I can help him or not. Haven’t got BFV installed on my HDD for a long time.

[opaque saddle]

Dm me the link when it’s up. It’s almost 4am here and was meant to sleep 4 hours ago

[fallen harbor]

ok

[wraith valley]

I have a big problem with bf1 and bfV where my 4K monitor gets ruined every time I start the game, I have to restart my pc to fix the problem. The games are impossible to play, does anyone have an idea why this could occur?

[proud trellis]

is your pc good enough to handle 4K ?

[wraith valley]

yeah, I was playing battlefield 1 and 5 on there before

I had that battlefield 5 problem a while now, uninstalled the game and installed it again 2weeks ago to find out that it's still having the same problem

so then i install battlefield 1, i play it for 2 weeks and now it also has that problem

[proud trellis]

im not a big expert on this sorry , someone else will probably reply in a while

[wraith valley]

i'd send a picture of my screen when it happens but i dont know how

[proud trellis]

you can press the PRT SC key

[wraith valley]

but i cant post a picture here i believe

[proud trellis]

you can dm it me and i will send it in here

there u go

[wraith valley]

thanks!

how horrible is that right

[proud trellis]

that is horrible

does it happen on other games ?

[wraith valley]

and it stays on my monitor untill I restart my pc, it truly only happens in battlefield

[proud trellis]

oh

i would wait for someone else more knowledgeable then me

to reply

[wraith valley]

alright! well thanks anyways ICE 🙂

[proud trellis]

np

[supple bane]

@wraith valley if it only happens in bfv, then try repair it or reinstall it

[wraith valley]

it happens on bf5 and bf1, and I did repair and reinstall mutliple times 😢

9 year old AMD graphics card still runs Sekiro at 1080p medium 60+ fps

[supple bane]

Is it possible to view the game on a different monitor

[wraith valley]

if i play the game on my 1920 x 1080 monitor it does seem to work

[supple bane]

Try changing the monitor resolution to 1080p in nvidia control panel and windows settings and try

[wraith valley]

oh yeah, that's a good idea, i'll try doing it in a bit!

thanks man

[supple bane]

If it works then go to settings and set the game to windowed mode, save and exit and then change the nvidia control panel settings back to 4k, and launch the game, this will be in windowed mode now and id imagine it would be fine

Then you can go to in game settings and try setting it to 4k in game and fullscreen

[wraith valley]

laright, i'm going to try that! thanks a lot 😄

[latent light]

ASUS confirmed the RTX 3060 12GB and RTX 3080Ti 20GB

RTX 3060 having more VRAM than the 3080 is hilarious

Also a punch in the gut for 3070 and 3080 owners tbh

[coarse nimbus]

doesnt ram quality matter in the equation though

[turbid verge]

means nothing

ost likely you wont use half of the 3060 Vram knowing that gpu will be made to play at 1080/1440p

3080ti is design'd for 1440p and 4k

meanwhile the 3080 is ideal for a 1440p 144hz setup

my 1070 had 8gb vram never used more then 6gb unless it was for rendering

[storm osprey]

It’s slightly annoying but that’s about it

[weak girder]

3080 ti is designed for 4k

and can do 144hz at that resolution

3060 is probably gonna be for 1440p

[turbid verge]

I mean we dont really have much data on it thats why Iam throwing it in the air

[opaque saddle]

@proud trellis Delete your BFV settings folder and try it again

i meant to start everything on 'local computer' as freshly installed, and do not use cloud sync

[ashen ether]

hello, i have an ASUS TUF B450M plus mother board and PNY XLR8 RGB ram. i was playing earlier and both the rgb lights just went off
still off right now
what does this mean

[opaque saddle]

did you install ASUS AURA sync?

@ashen ether

[ashen ether]

@opaque saddle i just did

yea it turns on now

[opaque saddle]

right cool

[ashen ether]

but before that i didnt have aura sync

it was weird turning off on its own

what was the reason for it?

[opaque saddle]

new asus software installed?

[ashen ether]

i was playing bfv when it turned off

[opaque saddle]

or upgraded to another version, dont really know

[ashen ether]

also i have 6 fans right now. on full load one of my fans makes a loud noise

the top exhaust

[opaque saddle]

can you control the speed of it via BIOS?

[ashen ether]

nah i have molex fans

i mean it's in a hub but the hub is connected to molex

[opaque saddle]

did you install it to the right way?

[ashen ether]

thats what i'm thinking. maybe it has something against on it

but doesnt make sound right now since i'm on idle

only using discord and facebook

[opaque saddle]

Please do a check

[ashen ether]

what possibly is this?

[opaque saddle]

Vary

Fan installed in the wrong way.
Fan got blockage or faulty or fan speed is too high

It can be anything

Since I don’t have too much info about it

[steel latch]

CES 2021 Coming :)))

[modern gull]

GDC is better in my opinion, maybe dice would have been there showing of their new tech. Sadly it's so damn late in the year anyways. Probably already seen teaser and gameplay perhaps of the next game. If they follow the releases they done the past 10 years we will get teaser/trailer in may ish and release october ish if its a new game next year. Still anyways interesting to see new tech in game engines.

[weak girder]

did you build your own pc or overclock anything?

[ashen ether]

I built it on my own and no oc were done

[weak girder]

it could be the thermal paste

[ashen ether]

it's not the cpu fan

it's only one exhaust fan

[weak girder]

oh sorry my bad

Ill have to do some research

[ashen ether]

Anyways I have another question.

We dont have our own internet right now but I am connected to my relatives wifi. I am just tethering my phone to the pc to share the internet. How can I improve my internet with this. I have 160 ping playing BFV

[opaque saddle]

Using 4G and plug in your phone to your computer with USB cable. Nothing you can do about it apart from these

Unless you wanna change your DNS as well

[ashen ether]

I use google DNS

Both my phone and pc

It's on ipv4 right?

8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

[opaque saddle]

yeah

but you gonna try coz not every dns will give you identical ping in game

[latent light]

2022 gonna be real interesting

RTX 3090 has 82 SM (streaming multiprocessors)

RTX "4090?" looking to have 144 SM

Also nvidia may follow AMD's 'Infinity Cache' design found on RDNA2 for next gen

[storm osprey]

welp, gotta rma my psu

[latent light]

RTX 3080 killed it?

[storm osprey]

nah, it has a bad fan/coil whine that i probably didnt notice before, i replaced my fans and they are stupid quiet so now i notice my psu making a noise

ive had it for something like 5 years though

[latent light]

Wouldn't worry a lot about it if it's already gone 5 years without failure

I've been using a cheap no-name brand PSU for 7 years that ain't even bronze rated

[storm osprey]

its functional, just extremely annoying

[coarse nimbus]

[fallen harbor]

what are those vertical monitors for

[fringe belfry]

anyone know how to fix ping without cable parents wont let me connect the cable

[fallen harbor]

hard to say

best you can do is getting closer to the router

or getting the router closer to you

[fringe belfry]

tbh mate ive came to the conclusion ima just move out and get my own wifi

[fallen harbor]

wish that were me

[fringe belfry]

why man

[fallen harbor]

cause i cant afford to move

[storm osprey]

isnt there a way to make your router prioritize certain devices?

[prime jasper]

If you have a Linksys router, yes.

Idk about any other routers, but I'm sure they have that feature.

[fringe belfry]

i just have a job with good pay kinda lucky

legit play eu server with 100ping

[mild siren]

I remember there being some kind of way through MAC address of a device

Basically making a MAC address a priority one

Depends on router

You should check the manual

If you still have one

Or search up a manual for your model online

Because it depends on the router

dont be jealous that another color has a glorious 16 gb to use...which, half might get allocated right now....but its there damnit!

[storm osprey]

i mean, its nice its there, that large vram pool amd usually gives out makes cards last longer like the 570/580

[ashen ether]

Should I still turn on future frame rendering on my 1650super?

I currently get 90 avg fps without it

All low setting

[opaque saddle]

i think the 1650s is quite weak tbh

[ashen ether]

So should I turn it on?

[opaque saddle]

if you switch that on, you shall get another 10 or 20fps on low

sometimes less

[ashen ether]

All mutiplayer games I play are on low setting (except for texture quality)

Aight. I'll turn it on then

[opaque saddle]

i switched everything on low

if you want faster reaction time, please switch that off

if you reckon ffr is harming your reaction time, switch that off

[ashen ether]

I play on 160 ping anyway

ISP just went outside our home again. They opened the whatever box that was

I asked if they already turned it on and they said yes. But since it's holidays we cant get the internet yet

Probably after new year they said

[opaque saddle]

good luck then

[fallen harbor]

f

[weak girder]

just out of curiosity, how big is the difference betwenn 144 and 240hz?

[storm osprey]

as far as i have found its not nearly as big of a difference from going to 144 from 60, but theres a difference still

[weak girder]

if you have a 240hz can you go back to 144?

because with a 144 I could never go back to 60

[storm osprey]

that seems like a personal dilemma

[glossy plinth]

from my experience, HUGE

Its like comparing

Room temp water and cold water

[storm osprey]

from 60hz to 144hz is huge, from 144 to 240 is not

[fallen harbor]

im sure the difference is appreciated more in visual fluency rather than in response time, which cant be objectively measured for all people the same

itd depend on how the user’s brain accomodates to it

also you dont need a higher refresh rate monitor to reduce response time, you only need to increase your game’s frame rate for that. Wether those frames are displayed by your monitor or not is irrelevant

you get a high refresh rate monitor only if you want visual fluency, not better response time

[storm osprey]

idk, even pros say 144 to 240 isnt a huge difference

and you get 240 for both gains

[fallen harbor]

i couldnt tell because i never had a 240hz monitor but i am almost sure that if you use one of those for years and then you go back to a 144hz one you would notice the difference

they are built for a reason

[storm osprey]

well yea, you would notice a difference, ive not said otherwise, but is that difference major? highly doubt it if pros even say its not

[fallen harbor]

normies cant tell the difference between 30 and 60 until they get used to 60 after a long time

[storm osprey]

pretty sure anyone who plays games even casually and knows the concept of fps can tell the difference between 30 and 60

[fallen harbor]

if the difference is major or not id say it would depend on the use they give to it but idk

[fallen harbor]

yeah nah i know many people that play videogames and know about fps because i explained and they still cant tell the difference

[storm osprey]

pro fps players are saying its not major, idk what is a more ideal scenario for a difference to occur

[fallen harbor]

me neither

[molten coral]

Then they are probably blind and should check their eyes.

[fallen harbor]

they are normies

the capability to notice different frame rates is tied to the reflexes of the user

visual reflexes

in order to be able to tell 30 and 60 apart you need to train your vision in a way that surpasses most people’s visual reflexes and perception, like experiencing frame stutters from 30 to 60 for a long time and constantly, while also being used to see 60fps etc. You cant directly translate fps to real life vision because it’s actually a matter of how much attention somebody can pay to what they are seeing. Probably a racer can tell 30 and 60 apart without needing to play videogames because their vision is already trained

a normie that plays ps3 and ps4 videogames from time to time or age of empires 2 wont normally complain about frame rate

they wont even complain about input lag either

when bf3 came out it had literally almost 1 full second of input lag on the ps3 so i didnt play it till they improved it after almost a year, but before that, a normie friend of mine that played videogames sometimes too, asked me why i dont play it so i launched the game and gave him the controller and told him “you see this input lag? its unplayable” and he literally never noticed it and said it was only an excuse of mine

i am guessing that you all probably only interact with hardcore pc enthusiasts when it comes to videogames so you are not used to see how oblivious most people actually are about this

[chrome skiff]

So why did new consoles move to over 60 fps? Both consoles boast higher then 60 fps gaming

Pc has had the premium that console can now afford to move into relatively fairly priced. So if it doesnt matter why do it?

We are also in a generation where tv come with true over 60hz refresh. Its just a more common thing.

[fallen harbor]

consoles need to last approximately 7 years in the market while being able to run any games at a playable degree. It's not uncommon for games to run better in the early years of the console. If the ps5 ran everything at 30fps now, it will be a lot harder to run any game 5 years in the future. It's an extra power that will be needed in the future. But of course, some people that play on consoles are also aware of the frame rates and can tell 30 and 60 apart. I never said that all of console users are oblivious about this, but most surely are, most "pc" users also are absolutely oblivious about it, remember that most of "pc gamers" in the world are on non-gaming laptops, not on actual gaming pcs. Most people in general are oblivious about frame rate differences, in both types of platforms.

if you really believe anybody that uses to play a videogame every other day can tell 30fps and 60fps apart you couldn't be more wrong is all im saying

it doesnt matter if the game they play runs at 60fps or 30

[chrome skiff]

I mean you can go back to the battlefield forums and see bf4 on the ps3 at 20-30 fps vs the ps4 60 fps was a huge life event. Even destiny was another big game. People noticed, maybe you didnt but plenty do. The Even demon souls is huge right now cause it was 30 fps and now its 60 on the new console

Same games just more fps

[storm osprey]

it seems your are working under the technicality that "gamers" are also including people like mobile gamers

[fallen harbor]

it was a loud but vast minority of people that were hyped about it

[storm osprey]

sure, under that extremely broad label there are a vast majority of people that dont even comprehend what fps is

[fallen harbor]

it's the same as saying most feminists are anti men because of the loud minority that say that having a penis is bad

[storm osprey]

im talking more of the "i buy cod/fifa" casual crowd

[chrome skiff]

I dont think that correlates at all

We are talking about fps raw fact information produced infront of you.

[supple bane]

i was just playing half life alyx. and my gpu usage was 75%, but my temperature was high for that usage and my power % was peaking at like 119%. even tho my power limit is at 100. basically my gpu is going over its power limit and is getting hot because of it

[storm osprey]

the fact is, 30 to 60 fps is painfully obvious, even if someone just describes it as "smoother", near anyone can tell a difference even if they dont know how to explain it or know why

[fallen harbor]

i really think you are exaggerating it when you say "anyone"

[storm osprey]

im really not

[fallen harbor]

i insist that most people are more oblivious than you think

[storm osprey]

if they cant tell id borderline worry about their vision

[chrome skiff]

@supple bane Its power boost, what are your temps

[supple bane]

75c

[storm osprey]

they dont need to know what fps means, why theres a difference between 30 or 60 hz or anything like that, one is clearly smoother than the other

[chrome skiff]

What card?

[supple bane]

2070

gigabyte windforce 2x

[fallen harbor]

one is objectively smoother than the other yes, but still not a thing most people can tell

[storm osprey]

hell, the standard for monitor refresh rate has been 60 for a long time

[chrome skiff]

You sound ok to me. Temps are fine and the card boosts because of it. The card wont start truly throttling till 84c? iirc The card is doing what its supposed to

[storm osprey]

again, if people cant tell 30 vs 60 fps side by side, im concerned for them

[supple bane]

im not worried, i just dont understand why its boosting like that

ive never seen it do that before

[chrome skiff]

Cause the demand is there, the card has the power to do so and the thermal head room. its normal. Might change due to the game but yeah you're good

[supple bane]

thats like 213w lol

tdp is 175w, thats a really aggressive boost table if it is the case

[fallen harbor]

the problem here is that you dont seem to understand that it has nothing to do with vision

[chrome skiff]

Turing always spiked. Thats 175 watt card for fe that normally ran at about 190 watts on most aib cards, then your temps seem fine so i can definitely see why it would draw the extra 30 watts because it can

[storm osprey]

thats weird, if they close they eyes they cant see anything... so it clearly has to do with vision

maybe not 100% has to do with vision, but i didnt claim that, while you just said it has 0% to do with it

[fallen harbor]

what i mean is that it has nothing to do with eyes health

it's a reflex thing, more directly related to the brain, not the eyes

a perfectly healthy eye can see no difference if the brain has no idea what is happening

[storm osprey]

you can also say really bad eye sight/health doesnt give the brain a good enough image for the brain to have any idea what is happening

[chrome skiff]

I mean your notion of fps and what your brain can respond too are quite different. Your eyes see 30-60fps to optical nerve and the brain will process it to an image. While movies are 24hz and we see 24 flickers in a second watching a movie the average human brain can react to 80-90 flickers of light a second. Even though your eyes can only see 60fps you brain can do more. Thats why with more fps and hz its less flicker and more of a constant stream of data. Its actually easier on your eyes and brain this way.

Then you have to think of how data is processed. Your eyes might not receive data on a screen flicker whether it be perfect timing or gods grace you missed your flick, what ever the case is. More data consistently is more reliable incase we have a "dropped" frame flicker etc. The brain will process it correctly cause well the brain is amazing and iu can give you hundreds of articles i wrote my med papers on and you can spend a couple hundred hours reading them

articles i read to write my paper*

Your brain can actually become more tired due to it having to pick up lost information. So if more information is provided it lets our brain process what we see easier. Then we become accustomed to putting it towards motor skill. Which is why we get used to what we use and again pc has had the upper hand for a long time. Doesnt mean people cant see or perform better for every human out there, its always to the individual but your brain can process 90hz of flickering light. Then becoming adrenalized or normalized during gaming or something you can obviously train yourself to use more data. Just like anything practice makes perfect and it works for your brain too.

Flicker related image updating vs seeing things in real life move are different. Monitors and tv are not real life and the way we interact with their hz are different then how we react to real life data. Im not normally into gun fights and huge explosions irl but thats just me. We focus pretty hard on games vs staring into some trees or seeing cars drive past us irl

[storm osprey]

wow

[lofty lake]

Can we pls get a TL:DR version

[chrome skiff]

oh and not to mention blue light is a stimulator and we get better results starring at something with blue light vs a over head light flicker at 90hz

but those are all variables

[chrome skiff]

Its commonly thought that when people in real life become adrenalized or scared and that hollywood "slow down slow motion" stuff is people not used to that amount of stimuli and its actually that things seem smoother then normal and crisper because your brain has all these hormones to put it into overdrive. Its not slowing down its just that much more information a second that youre used to that it seems that way. You can train many many things about your brain. Gaming happens to be one of them

[glossy plinth]

144hz to 240hz is a huge difference

i mean from what ive felt

was a big difference for me

[supple bane]

its not lol

if you think it is then its placebo

[glossy plinth]

hm

probably

[chrome skiff]

but there is someone out there that can notice it. its why its a product. I agree its almost unnoticeable for me but I also don't use 240hz as a part of my gaming life so when I test a buddies 240hz monitor I don't feel it as much as him going back to 144hz. ypu become accustomed to it. Its all personal

[coarse nimbus]

Damn that 1500 watt psu is amazing

[glossy plinth]

might get that new alienware AW2720HF for the ips panel

and give my old alienware monitor to my friend

[chrome skiff]

You're a good friend. I gave my friend a gpu for Christmas and he just found out his monitor was on 60hz. He said he couldn't feel the upgrade when he put the new gpu in

[weak girder]

if youre gonna upgrade your cpu, in your case I'd go ryzen 3 3100 for budget

and ryzen 5 3600 if you have the money and then upgrade your gpu

the i5 2400 is pretty outdated

[storm osprey]

[weak girder]

thats so dumb

you can get a quad core for so cheap rn

[latent light]

i3-10100 made any 4-core i7 irrelevant

[storm osprey]

they arent "trying"

[weak girder]

still better to get 8 threads tho

[latent light]

i3-10100 has 8 threads

[weak girder]

yeah

[storm osprey]

old cpus are rare and will likely slot into old builds, thats the value

[weak girder]

still not the best budget option

[storm osprey]

you cant just look at cpu to cpu price to performance

[weak girder]

ryzen 7 1600 af very good budget option

[weak girder]

well, you shouldnt get an i9 10900k if your main games are valorant, minecraft amd csgo

if you know what I mean

[storm osprey]

thats not what im talking about

and 1600 is not a good budget option anymore, it was only recommended when it was sub 100 bucks

[weak girder]

1600 af

[storm osprey]

yes, 1600 af

it hasnt been sub 100 in a very long time afaik

[weak girder]

really?

[storm osprey]

yes, when the 1600af launched i think it was 90 bucks, but it performed like a weak 2600, so it was a big deal

[slate rivet]

i7 is fine for most

[weak girder]

i3 10100 is comparable to a r3 3100 and if I remeber correctly the r3 3100 is cheaper

[weak girder]

depends which one

[slate rivet]

thats work laptop and runs sea of thieves, smite

[storm osprey]

i7 is fine for most since its really an overkill cpu for a lot of things

at least 10th gen i7

[weak girder]

i7 laptop is much worse than desktop

[storm osprey]

hell, even 4c8t i7 are good for most

[weak girder]

yeah

but that bad for an i7

even the i5 8400 (desktop) has 6 cores

[opaque saddle]

I7 8655u is an interesting cpu

The demo computers always boost to 4.1ghz at anytime

[latent light]

4c/8t is usually better than 6c/6t for games that take advantage of multithreading like Cyberpunk and RDR2

[opaque saddle]

Quite keen to see if intel going for big.LITTLE design

They have got an i5 5 cores CPU already

i5-L16G7

[latent light]

There's already confirmation that Intel's Alder-Lake-S (12th gen) will feature CPUs where not all cores will feature hyperthreading

There's a 16-core/24-thread CPU

[opaque saddle]

I think I saw the rumours ages ago, not many people will look at intel’s new processors these days

[latent light]

LGA1700 socket and Alder Lake will launch about 6-9 months after Rocket Lake

AMD is in big trouble if they wait too long to launch Zen4

[opaque saddle]

Would be wondering what they can come up with after a long journey of 14nm

[latent light]

New architectures

[storm osprey]

outside of power consumption, im fairly impressed they have made 14nm this competitive

[opaque saddle]

Isn’t that like 250w or something

[storm osprey]

10700k is 120?

[opaque saddle]

Can’t remember what is the wattage for the flag ship one

[storm osprey]

125w

10900k says 125w too

[opaque saddle]

Not referring to their TDP

PL2 limit

[storm osprey]

ahh, no idea

[opaque saddle]

Coz intel has rated their processors as something like 65w for the i5 125w for i7 and i9. I felt like TDP as in intel’s standard can be meaningless

[glossy plinth]

remember

a 16 core processor is better than a dual core processor

[latent light]

10600K, 10700K and 10900K have 125W TDP with 225W PL2

Even tho I've seen these CPUs draw over 270 watts

[latent light]

Intel's 12th gen (Alder Lake) is gonna launch in the second half of 2021, whereas the upcoming 11th gen (Rocket Lake) is gonna launch in March 2021.

Alder Lake is on the new LGA1700 socket, with DDR5 and PCIe 5.0

Will be much faster than Rocket Lake at around ~30% higher single-threaded performance

Only issue is that DDR5 will be way more expensive than DDR4 when it comes out next year

I've heard a 16GB module of 5000 MHz DDR5 costs over $300

8GB module over $150

IIRC there's already some compliant DDR5 available but each module costs over $1000

[turbid verge]

think DDR5 RAM is only experimental and costy, so till its a thing DDR4 will do fine

[coarse nimbus]

so theyre going to invalidate their own new cpu with in a couple months

[latent light]

Yep remember how quickly the 8700K came out after the 7700K

Was like 8-9 months apart

16GB DDR4 now costs ~$70

16GB DDR5 when Alder Lake comes out will be around $300

Alder Lake will be for enthusiasts imo

Won't be until 2023 when DDR5 prices are reasonable

Because mobile phones are going to make the jump to DDR5 as well, which means overwhelming demand for it

[turbid verge]

I have a 8700k, the last good intel CPU till ryzen 2nd gen appeared onwards

[molten coral]

Same

I'll probably upgrade with next gen ryzen

Or I'll just keep on playing with my current PC for another few years until it's just crap

and get a whole new build

[turbid verge]

I'll upgrade fully to a new rig after I start a job and DDR5 is out

till then Iam fine with this one

[latent light]

I'm waiting until a year or two after DDR5 comes out tbh

Gonna wait for when new manufacturing matures

[turbid verge]

Iam fine with my PC, just gonna upgrade the GPU and maybe get more ram to work with it

else for gaming etc pretty fine even for 3-4 years

[latent light]

I'm holding onto a R5 1600AF until about 2022/2023

Best value CPU I ever got for $85 new lol

Although I've seen a R5 2600X for $80 at MicroCenter

[storm osprey]

Micro center is cheating.

[latent light]

Move near one then

Tbh if I lived by one I'd be wasting a lot if money

I remember when I got a 4690K from there for $50 off and additional $20 off for also getting motherboard, which was already also $20 off

I bought all the parts for that rig there, saved nearly $200 in total

[weak girder]

everytime I restart my pc, my monitor goes back from 144hz to 72 hz and it gets quite annoying to change it everytime

how would compare hyper x cloud(i think cloud I) vs runmus registered k3 https://www.amazon.com/RUNMUS-Headphones-Canceling-Compatible-Dreamcast/dp/B07XR6SKB6 vs https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Headset-Nnintedo-KHX-H3CL-WR/dp/B00JJNQG98

[storm osprey]

ive never heard of runmus at all, ive had the first hyper x clouds and im a slight audiophile and i liked the hyper x for closed backs

[supple bane]

is it required that you have a headset? because id always recommend a stand alone mic with headphones

generally better quality on both ends. its just less convenient

[stuck elbow]

hm,i am confused,i could choose between beexceleng gm1 and renmus k3,low budged that are said to have a high quality,or a higher prices hyper x cloud that is recognized for its quality

[glossy plinth]

yes yes

more reason to buy a 360hz monitor

[prime jasper]

On 1080p with high settings, you think I can run ~100 FPS on BFV?

I assume it’ll do even better on the older ones

[fallen harbor]

what makes you think we can know the answer to that without you telling us your pc specs

[prime jasper]

Fair

I’m gonna buy BF1 actually

And I have a laptop

[fallen harbor]

specs

[prime jasper]

Ryzen 9 4900hs and a laptop 2060.

16 gb ram

[fallen harbor]

yes you can run bf5 on 100fps with those specs

in 1080p

on medium settings

approx

maybe not always 100

more like 85-100 id say

laptop versions of rtx2060 perform similarly to a gtx1660super

[prime jasper]

And on BF1?

[fallen harbor]

im not sure, i'd bet it'd be pretty similar since the engine is almost the same, but I don't want to be wrong so

idk

bf5 on medium settings on 1080p runs at around 90fps on my pc and i have an i5 8400 with an rx590

and your laptop is faster than my pc so i'd bet youd be able to reach 100fps on both games

however both your cpu and gpu wont perform the same as their desktop versions, they are a little bit slower as i mentioned above, but still faster than my pc i think

so remember that when you see benchmark tests

[fallow blade]

on my desktop (i7-9700k, rtx 2060) I rarely see dips under 100fps

[weak girder]

thats normal

[mild siren]

Desktop != mobile

[delicate stag]

i dont have bf5

[prime jasper]

Ayyyoo guys. So I noticed there’s a battlefield sale on steam. I’m working with a (kinda potato) Lenovo flex 14 amd laptop, AMD Ryzen 7 3700U Processor, 8gb ram, 80gb is ssd space left etc. I was wondering which battlefield I should pick up because I loved playing BF1 on the ps4 a few years ago. I was kinda thinking either bf3 or bf4? Probably bf4? But I don’t know. Any advise to help me decide would be great Thanks!

[prime jasper]

I don't like 2 if you want to buy 2

Ah ok cool I’ll stay away from that one then thx!

I was kinda thinking bf3, but then looking at steam charts ( https://steamcharts.com/search/?q=Battlefield ) and comparing the online player count to bf4, it makes me wanna get bf4 but idk. I think bf4 would be the most recent one that my laptop can handle

[prime jasper]

4 I already have it 3 I don't know if I buy it. I really like how it looks

[lofty light]

@prime jasper steam player charts aren't very helpful as they only show peeps playing on steam, when the vast majority of people have it on Origin

[prime jasper]

Ohhhh ok good to know

So what’s the player count looking like for bf3? And is that a better choice than bf4?

[lofty light]

Defs more people on 4 because it's newer

[prime jasper]

Faxx ok tbh I’ll prolly cop 4

[latent light]

@prime jasper with 3700U integrated graphics I'd play with low/medium settings on BF4

[prime jasper]

Yoo ok sweet that’s good to know actually

I’m glad I can at least run it then. I’m fairly used to doing medium/low settings

Still looks decent enough/playable?

[latent light]

Does your laptop have integrated graphics or does it use a seperate GPU chip

Also having dual channel RAM with integrated Vega graphics helps quite a bit

[prime jasper]

Oh man I don’t even know what that is tbh haha

Lenovo Flex 14 AMD laptop from 2018 I believe? is what I got.

Also like what’s a good amount of ssd space to still have on ur computer? Because after this I’ll have around 50gb left. Just worried about stuff slowing down from lack of space etc

[latent light]

Dual channel RAM means two RAM sticks

[prime jasper]

Ohh. I’d think it doesn’t have that

[latent light]

Having two sticks of 4GB is better than one stick of 8GB

[prime jasper]

Ahhh I see. I wouldn’t know tbh dang

[latent light]

But if you one stick of 8GB, you should be able to put another 8GB if laptop has two RAM slots

[prime jasper]

I mean it’s like a thin 2in1 laptop that flips into a tablet and stuff. I don’t think there’s much opportunity for spec customization and stuff but idk

Good to know tho thanks sir

[fallen harbor]

LMAO

[latent light]

AMD patent on next generation RDNA3

GPU chiplets confirmed

Pretty much confirms that APUs will have GPU chiplets alongside CPU chiplets

We're definitely gonna see high performance on integrated graphics for CPUs by end of this year or next

[prime jasper]

Oh man all that fancy computer talk hurts my brain lmao. Idek how to read those sentences

[prime jasper]

Yeooooooo so I ended up getting bf4 but to my surprise it was 60gb!! Lmaoo steam says 30gb damn. DLC I guess

[latent light]

Lol

RTX 3060 to match/beat the RTX 2070 Super
RTX 3050 Ti to match/beat the RTX 2060 Super
RTX 3050 to match/beat GTX 1660 Super/Ti

[prime jasper]

Welp- I’m returning this game oh god

Literally just got spawned killed every match I joined lmfao. Don’t wanna go above the 3 hour point otherwise I can’t return on steam so.

[coarse nimbus]

i mean...its a 7+ year old game at this point...youll be facing people with 100s if not thousand + hours into it lol

[turbid verge]

Thing that wont match is the stock

[prime jasper]

Haha Yaa fair enough

[storm osprey]

pretty sure its a 2 hour limit

[merry dust]

Hİ

[prime jasper]

Got it refunded 👍🏽

[strong breach]

Bf3 might be pretty beginner friendly

[coarse nimbus]

yeah if you like walking around with blue tinted glasses

[latent light]

An SM is more analogous a CPU core than a "CUDA core" is. On GTX 1000 (Pascal) each SM contained 64 CUDA cores, and each CUDA core was a FP32 core. On RTX 2000 (Turing) each SM contained 64 CUDA cores, and each CUDA core was considered 1FP32 core + 1INT32 core. Now on RTX 3000 (Ampere) it moved back to executing 32 FP32 operations per SM subcore per clock. What NVIDIA has done is more accurately described as “undoing the 1/2 FP32 rate.” As for performance, each Ampere 'CUDA core' will be substantially less performant than in Turing because the other structures in the SM have not been doubled. So Ampere has more CUDA cores in the same way that Bulldozer had "8 cores".

Ampere 'CUDA core' is ~0.6x the performance of a Turing 'CUDA core'

[modern gull]

Are you saying the new generation lost 0.4 performance?

[opaque saddle]

RIP extension ribbon cable. DOA. Time to blame the shipping company

[supple bane]

idk what im looking at lmao

just looks like some white lines

[opaque saddle]

You know ribbon cables for display?

[supple bane]

yus

it doesnt look damaged is what im saying

[opaque saddle]

Either mobile display under the hood or a monitor display

It relies on an extension able to extend the range

Anyway it’s broken

Coz those cables are really fragile. The company which shipped the external display have bent the cable. Now it won’t work

[coarse nimbus]

Whats...frag..ile? is that some Italian word _yeah just throw it in the little package folder and bend it out the door _

[opaque saddle]

Fragile means ‘easy to break’, an English word to describe glass are easy to break so the shipping companies would usually put a ‘fragile’ label with the glass icon on it to represent to be careful in order to handle parcel at all time

[molten coral]

DO NOT BEND Bends it anyway because fuck your degree

[opaque saddle]

Well it works without the extension able anyway

[coarse nimbus]

like the opening scene to ace ventura

[opaque saddle]

Will show pictures when I get up

Anyway it’s a little 40 USD 7” IPS display with 1024x600 res

Usually people will stick the display inside the desktop glass side panel and fire up AIDA64 to monitor the computer parts usage. It works really well without the need to install RGB lighting. This little display can do most of the job a standard PC monitor display can do. Still, it works with any PC (including RPI or Linux servers) without a monitor connected. I should say this thing is portable and can be carry with you if you got a pc without display. Quite useful for setting up a PC

[prime jasper]

just get two 8gb

[sullen steeple]

Hey guys do you think that my laptop would handle BF1?
Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-7100U CPU @ 2.40GHz
Intel(R) HD Graphics 620
12GB RAM

[digital hill]

Eeh on low settings 30 fps could handle it

[near rune]

I think you meant low settings 3fps

[digital hill]

I mean its a laptop cpu

[near rune]

Intel hd graphics

Cant run anything

[digital hill]

ok thats true

but on lowest settings with 640x480 then yeah

[proud trellis]

30fps is unplayable anyway

[digital hill]

True but its still playable

[near rune]

Not really if its an fps game

[digital hill]

Ehh it is

[cloud lake]

@prime jasper said to post here who got a pic & will post it for me, just wondering i got static lines coming up when gaming under any load on a power colour RX 5700 XT is it a sign of a bad card, never had a GPU die so all new to me on that front

[digital hill]

Yeah but they use the same pcb

Though warranty still exists for cards

@cloud lake issue

[cloud lake]

Ty CB

[prime jasper]

is that a broken GPU

[molten coral]

Seems like it

sure it isn't just the monitor/tv?

friend of mine had this a few weeks ago and it died like an hour later

[cloud lake]

On BF42 GPU is fine looks like another RMA and hopefully 3rd time a charm with these AMD cards

[storm osprey]

Iirc artifacts could be from a dying gpu or a bad overclock.

[cloud lake]

Not OC the card to much hassle when new, ty for help i go back to OCUK where I brought it from and hopefully I can buy a cheap card till either fixed or, worse case buy a RX 6k to replace

[storm osprey]

Ahh 5000 series amd?

[latent light]

@modern gull no, the new CUDA cores on Ampere are half cores compared to previous generations

[modern gull]

ah i see. maybe they sacrifice for something else or?

[latent light]

2x ALU per SM is my understanding. So divide by half would give you traditional CUDA core count you'd have expected.

RTX 3090 has 10,496 CUDA ÷ 2 = 5248
RTX 3080 has 8704 CUDA ÷ 2 = 4352
RTX 3070 has 5888 CUDA ÷ 2 = 2944

[cloud lake]

Ye 57k

[digital hill]

Damn when the pandemic over I hope I can buy a rtx 3060 without dealing with scalpers

[prime jasper]

You likely will

The pandemic will realistically end in late 2021 to early 2022

It’s gonna take a while for us Americans to take the damn vaccine

And right now I’m not even eligible so I have to wait

[sweet pumice]

hey I got a question about 3060 and the 3060 ti

is there any benchmarks that compare these two

[fallen harbor]

i dont think they are out yet

[proud trellis]

is there such things as a CPU driver update ?

if there is then that is surly my issue

[fallen harbor]

uuuuh good question, i dont think ive ever bothered to do that

[proud trellis]

if anyone knows how to do them pls tag me

it could save my life

[supple bane]

there isnt a cpu driver no

[proud trellis]

oh for fuck sake

[storm osprey]

3060 ti is out, 3060 is not

AMD patent leaked - RDNA3 multi-chip architecture, APUs with multiple GPU chiplets

Radeon is about to go berserk

[digital hill]

Finally we can have apu's with powerful gpu's unlike intel

[latent light]

Expect to see Ryzen APUs with 2-3 GPU chiplets that have 16-20 compute units each

GPU chiplets on RDNA3 work similar to how CPU chiplets work in Ryzen

We could see 4K gaming on APUs next year

[molten bramble]

Leaked? Patents are public information.

https://www.uspto.gov

[digital hill]

But the problem is the apu's could be more expensivew

[coarse nimbus]

ye but leak makes it seem like its top sekret infos that someone definitely not named bisa tu released to the plebs

[digital hill]

Yeah

[latent light]

[digital hill]

If laptops come with integrated gpu's then on ebay there should be mobile verisons of rtx 2060s not scalped

[floral cedar]

Hi, how do you set dual audio outputs for discord and other stuff? Like when I game, the game audio was using my laptop's speakers as output and my discord voice chat would be audible through my headphones. I can't set it to work on my new lapotp.

It's an Acer Predator Helios 300 and the audio drivers are from Realtek.

[digital hill]

Dual audio outputs seems more like discord is set correctly but the whole os is not

on windows click on this icon in your taskbar

then press the up arrow afterwards

and choose the device your looking for

[floral cedar]

yeah that's the problem. In this laptop it only shows the default device doesn't let me choose between headphones and speakers :/

[digital hill]

Is the headphones plugged in 3.5mm or bluetooth?

[floral cedar]

In my previous one, I had uninstalled the manufacturer drivers and was using the Microsoft default High Definition drivers. There was some other problem that I was trying to fix and this had happened accidentally only

I tried to do the same thing with this one as well

but after one or two days, the OS automatically rolled back to the previous drivers I guess

[floral cedar]

3.5mm

[digital hill]

Install the manufacturers drivers

[floral cedar]

ya dude I'm using the Realtek drivers only now. They're the ones the laptop came with. When I had uninstalled them, then everything was working fine. But as I said, they automatically rolled back to the default drivers aka Realtek, when I switched to the other one after one or two days.

[digital hill]

Install new ones

Look for your laptop manufacturers site like asus or acer

official sites
